You Know, your story tells the love a father has for his family! Don't ever forget that, even when you get mad at him. Thanks for sharing. Happy Milling
Your Dad, "the boss", seems to be a man of few words but with a determination to protect his family by any means necessary. You two may not realize it yet but that determination lives in both of you too. Your work ethic is just the tip of that iceberg.
boss man used his climbing skills to get on that fallen tree. a father having to save his entire family can be a unstoppable force. thanks EM n JADE for sharing these personal incidents and windows into your lives.
I remember that year and the years after. Bridges were out and working in the affected areas was a nightmare. The company I work for worked on the cleanup. It was the first time I had seen flood damage on tops of mountains. The story you tell about what you Dad did was heroic! The determination of saving one’s family is a force of nature.
Your Father is a great Man and Leader and all of You are Gifted for what You went thru. That was quite a story and would be a great movie. My heart goes out to all of You
Floods are very scary events. The force of raging waters is unmeasurable, in a blink you could disappear. Very well narrated, thanks for the opportunity to see this disaster through your eyes.
Very powerful stuff, Americans need to get back together and stop fighting and start remembering who we are , forget politics and hate , we are survivors ! Never quit !
@@AlmostItalianBrothers the right is ready and has been ready to reunite as a cou try with the left. The left is obviously not willing to do that and neither is the liberal media their responsible for dividing America with their hatred of the right.
Agree about getting together, and we are fighters, but we should never turn our backs on politics. The only thing we can do is vote or revolt. That being said, it is super important to know what's going on in politics and vote accordingly. I say do your own research, think for yourself, and forget the media. They are the ones dividing us.
You ladies are the dream an old man desires for his grandchildren; hard workers and engineers in your trade. As an old woodworker and cabinetmaker, I enjoy your videos of the sawmill and your hard work cutting lumber. You make your parents proud. Thank you and happy new year and prosperous 2022.
The sermon on the mount, Matthew 7:7-14, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalms 57:2, Psalms 91 ,. I have learned that there is nothing a dad loves, and there is nothing a mom loves more than their children. Psalms 91, Romans 8:37-39. Deuteronomy 28, Mark 10:17-27, Matthew 5:17, Luke 6:46.
I lived through a flood back in 1973 when I was 16 years old. At that time my family lived 4 miles from the Mississippi River. We ended up with 18 inches of muddy water in our house which doesn't sound like all that much compared with your experience but still did a lot of damage and required a total remodel of our house. While you were telling your story it brought up a bunch of old memories of the things I experienced during my disaster. As you said, water is extremely powerful and dangerous, and a flood not only does unbelievable damage but can take lives, livelihoods, and shatters your emotional well-being. Being faced with your mortality can certainly change your life. I too, remember the "smell." We began cleanup at our house by mopping the floor with bleach and then just hosing out all of the mud (I bet we did that 20 or more times). I don't think the smell ever fully went away and we took every wall to the studs in the remodel. Life is precious, and your story proves how much your dad values each member of your family. Don't ever doubt his love, you saw it on full display that night. Tragedy has a way of drawing families and communities together. I could tell you story after story of things that took place during that time in my life as I'm sure you can regarding this event in your lives. This has obviously made you stronger women and strengthened the bond of love in your family. I pray that God will continue to bless your lives as you will obviously continue to grow to become exceptional young women.
My goodness ladies this certainly is a powerful life changing event. Your dad is an honest hero who put his family first. I’m a little old man and I teared up. You two will be brave for your own families someday.
As the saying goes, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger “. Thank you for sharing this with all of us out here in the ether. May God bless you and your family.
Hi Emerald and Jade, a horrific story, and you were both clearly emotional while telling it......Tears don't easily come to my eyes as i get older, but they did on this occasion.........I'm so happy that you all got through this disaster safely......Your dad is truly a hero........Stay well. 😘
your dad did what a father should have done! Family is all there is at times like that! your parents did what they should have done and they loved you so very much they would have gave their lives that night! God Bless them and you!
Thank you for the frank and heartfelt story of some of your family’s history. This is what makes us stronger and the family bond stable. I have, in the past, marvelled at the apparent strength of the family unit that is visible in your videos, but now I see, partly at least, where this originates. You are all survivors and much stronger people than some of the “princesses” I see sometimes. Heroes one and all!😁👍🏆
I know I'm late to this video, but that was very touching. I could tell how much it affected your young lives and how absolutely determined your parents were in saving you. Oddly, I grew up just north of where you are and lived through a flood when the Tioga (PA) and Chemung (NY) rivers flooded. Lived in a church evacuation center for 8-days and my mother the RN would take the people the National Guard flights would bring in and check them out. I spent an entire summer helping clean up the area. That smell you described is still etched in my psyche and always will be...
Wow! That must have been very traumatic for you all. Well done for sticking to the task and coming through it. Your dad sounds like he fought like a lion to save you all.
Wow! Great job of telling a gut wrenching story of survival. Your parents are extraordinary! Your dad put his life on the line to save his family. It's obvious you two have the same core values.
Until you have lost everything except what’s on your back !! It’s hard to explain it to someone else I know from experience and hear that in your voice as you tell the story!!! You are truly blessed and you know it !!
Disaster preparedness is a REAL thing that we have forgotten. Everyone should have a plan for the top 3 MOST LIKELY natural disasters . ALWAYS keep multiple flashlights and extra batteries in every vehicle. I have a headlamp that will provide light for 4 hours on high. 6 hours on low. Every vehicle should have a backpack with one or two MREs, multiple ways to start fires, spare wool socks, and a lifestraw or sawyer water filter. Also a handfull of mylar blankets. Less than $2 each at walmart. Glad y'all made it out.
I took me 3 times to watch this video it brought back scary memories to me, I survived being trapped underwater in my car in 1982. I tried twice to get out, water was filling the inside of the car up, I put my head down and said Lord help, my next conscious thought was that I was walking through water. I went to my friends house and he and his dad went to the scene and found my car 150 down the road with all windows up and all doors locked. Devine intervention? I'm glad you all made it out ok. Brian
As a father I know how rare it is to have a first hand story of tragedy like this told from his children's point of view. Your story from your point of view is rare and priceless, a treasure to preserve for future generations.
The "Boss Man" is a Father and a Man. He would give his life to save his family and never even think about it. At times like this you just have to trust him. Respect. (and you all made it possible)
So sorry you experienced that. I'll bet it bonded you even tighter as a family. You mentioned praying to God. I hope you thank him that your lives were spared. Love your family.
For his family, a father will continue on until he has gotten all to safety. God Bless Bossman and his wonderful family. The Lord stepped in and kept pushing him to go on.
I understand your Dad's unstoppable determination. A man's family is his soul and no father would not give his last breath for that family he holds dear. This I know because I had to literally carry my 3 year old daughter out of the midst of a devastating cat 3 tornado and my only direction was dependence on God.. though much was lost, my daughter as well as myself were safe with just minor injuries. It truly doesn't matter to me what others think, Jesus has given us an inestimable gift by having access to God Himself through himself. I believe that is what kept and protected me and my young daughter, and as I reckon that is what gave your Dad the strength and direction to get you guys out.... As we may be father's to our children, then so is God to us... Matthew 7... Vaelin
I am north of you in New York State. I lost my home in that 2011 flood. Water reached 4 feet shy of the roof. So I understand clearly the challenge you went through. Fortunately I got to high ground in time. My house was 85 years old and had never been touched by flood prior to my buying it in 2004.
I can tell you from my own life, when crisis come and there is no way out, God always makes a way and He is always with me when these things happen. May God bless your family and keep you safe.
I find it very appropriate, that your dad found a way across , using a tree to guide y'all to the other side ... I'm sure glad y'all made it safely as a family and God Bless you all , each and everyone of you 💗💗💗💗💗
i sure loved hearing about your dad. he sounds like the kind of man the rest of us can respect and admire. he is a blessing to your family. i can hear how much you appreciate him, and i bet all of you make sure he is aware of that. good for you, (all) and God bless. God, family, country.
This was a video we missed. Praise The Lord that you all made it through! My wife Julie and I love watching your videos...we love to watch wholesome videos that feature family businesses and homestead operations. We love your work ethic and how the family works together. God Bless!
Emerald looks the same , but Jade looks so young in this video. I bet Dad was livid, his wife and kids in danger. You young ladies are full of surprises, I am so happy the family made it out together and safe.
Know and lived your story well. Live in Johnstown Pa. South west of you. Famous for three floods here that destroyed about everything. Your so right on how you never know unless you’ve been in it. And after the shock settles, the real work starts of cleaning and rebuilding. Had to chuckle about the smell of flood mud. Still get the shivers if I get a hint of it. So glad your all safe and strong. Bob in Johnstown
The bravery, fortitude & greatness of your family is admirable & impressive. Thank you for sharing this epic story of your very difficult experience that made you stronger & more determined to be very successful.
I'm in southern N.H,and witnessed a freak flood,20 miles from home,on way home from VT,a large group of us ended up trapped on a small piece of high ground, refrigerators and couches blasting over the main road,bulldozers trying to make dams,I was 16 then,so this story I very much understand,I'll say again,I'm blessed by the algorithm for finding your channel
That house was where I grew up we went through 1972 and 1975 and other floods but that one was the worst. The little town of Barbours has never been the same. The house had water in the basement before but never in the house itself. On another note I enjoy your videos because I grew up next to the sawmill that was next to your house. I worked on the mill in the woods and in the pallet mill so I can appreciate what you guys do. Keep up the good work.
Just came across your video. Can’t imagine what your family went through. I’ve subscribed. Now being 71 years old I took a nap soon after. I left You tube playing. I woke up to a beautiful piano playing. And looked at the screen to see who it was. There was a bible verse across the screen which accompanied the piano. It read “ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not over take you….. Isaiah 43 : 2. Now that was awesome . That verse stayed there for awhile as the piano continued. Had to share that with you.
Seemingly, your father received sight, strength & stamina in the ominous darkness through Divine Intervention in order to guide all of ye to safety. The whole lot of ye had Angels over your shoulders protecting each one of you from peril. An outstanding story and quite the Gift.
Our house was nearly flooded in the summer of '21. We had 6 inches of rain fall in about 4 hours. We were very glad when the water started to recede. We know that the folks an hour or two to the southeast of us in SE Kentucky had their flood this year '22. The power of the water is frightening. Our only damage was some washed-out ground in our garden, and it did some minor damage to our AC Heat pump. We thanked GOD that it was no worse than it was. A family from our church had 2' of water in their house last year. We know that stuff can be replaced, but people can't.
Thanks for sharing your stories. I was wondering about the rain there in "meet the team" video. Keep up the great work y'all. The first time I saw the phosphorous moss was in Tennessee it was in a thick, high canopy forest. It gets really dark even when it's not raining. If you fortunate on one of your vacations at the beach you can experience tiny phosphorous baby jelly fish, the size of peas. Swimming at night with those glowing jellies is like living out some fantastic story book. Thanks again for bringing sunshine. Cheers!
Thank God I wasn't the only one who saw glowing branches and mushroom at the time of my fiery trial more worst that death itself. It happened in the darkest moments of my life, and I saw those glowing branches and mushroom in pitch black darkness at four different mountains I climb alone out of my deep sorrow and despair. But I kept my faith in God. This is his way of giving us a little spark of hope, a hint of light that is within us(since we are also compared to plants by God) which will glow and make our spirits shine in the darkest of times that the Devil brings to our lives. Now is stil night for the Lord, the day only comes for when his son returns to uproot all evil in this world. Stay true and keep the faith in God, love lots. More blessings to come for your family. Keep safe guys I enjoyed watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️ Isaiah 60 King James Version (KJV) 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. Psalm 1 King James Version (KJV) 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Isaiah 53 King James Version (KJV) 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Ezekiel 17 King James Version (KJV) 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Happy New Year! It sounds like the boat was to small. Your dad is a smart man. Going a tough route to be safe isn't fun but it kept the family safe. Give him a few extra hugs. He earned them. May God continue to bless your family.
That story was amazing. Definition of family right there. Your dad is an amazing man, he may be moody and you might not be able to ask him questions until the end of the day but he is always looking out for your family. Really happy you guys are alive! I can’t get over that and how that must of felt especially your mom with a one year old. God bless you guys and I’m so excited to meet you!
Listening to the story of the flood and all the trials your family went through is amazing! As i listened to you all i could see was how God hand working to protect you all and making sure you all made it to safety and then Blessing your family with all the help rebuilding and sheltering you all while the building was going on, Wow what an Awesome God we have!!! Thank you for sharing with us and i hope you see the blessings and keep giving God the Praise. Thank you and God Bless.
On July 31, 1987 I was 9 years old and the city of Edmonton experienced an F4 tornado. The day would be immortalized in Edmonton history as "Black Friday". The day started off exceptionally warm, but the storm clouds grew in the afternoon. The skies were ominous and dark. My dad sprung into action, and packed us into the car.....and we headed to the nearest liquor store. A truly heroic and selfless act. In all seriousness, we weren't in danger in our home, despite the massive softball sized hail pelting our neighbourhood. I'm lucky enough to have the most amazing wonderful and amazing father, who I try to be like in everything I do. I am so happy for families that have fathers that love and support their families. I count my blessings often, and I'm glad you do the same. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great story.Made me cry.Your mom and dad are the true hero,s.What a parent will go through for our children has no limits.It makes one appreciate them even more.
Great story, sets the stage for what you have accomplished since and in the future. You should write it down with quotes from each of you for family history. Date it and let your grandchildren read it someday.
Im so glad you're all here and well today! I'm from middle NY but every year I go up to Sonestown PA for a bday trout fishing party for my buddy..and Ive seen the damage those floods can do..whole bridges and even homes washed away. You're dad is incredible, hope you guys sell firewood bundles! I would love to buy one for my buddies cabin
The negative comments on your videos really show what a sickness social media really is. Or maybe the mentally unwell just speak the loudest. Keep doing what you do, and know that the majority of people appreciate you sharing your stories.
WOW...just WOW....God is awesome, with the things he shows us throughout Life's journey, amazing. Things happen for a reason.... sometimes we don't understand it. It seems to have installed an appreciation in your hearts, never forget, learn and move on. You have a great family.
Those glowing plants we have so many of that here in the PNW that when we clear tress from an area and disturb the ground during the day that night will be filled with glowing fungus which glows green to see a big area of cleared forest glowing like that is magical I used to gather it all up and put it in a mason jar and it created a mason jar light bulb that really lite up the cabin.
WOW, I can't imagine how terrifying that had to be. My area just had a 100 year flood on 8/17/21 in Haywood county nc. 100's of homes washed away. 6 lives lost. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing.
The power of water is amazing. I lived near a creek for a while I learned quick to watch the weather constantly and if they called for heavy rain to watch the creek. I had 2 points I watched. Water reached the first point I started putting stuff in the house up high. It reached the 2nd point I took the family out. Got flooded 2 or 3 times. Said I would never live near a creek again so I bought property on a hill and moved. Can't imagine this from a kids prospective. Thanks for sharing your powerful story.
Wonderful story of your Dad’s courage and persistence for the love of his family. No wonder you all are so strong. Every child needs parents like this strong and loving Mom and Dad! Lost my home here in WV in the 1985 flood of the Greenbrier River. . Built back 9’ in the air and the 1996 flood went right under me. We called it “Killing Waters!” Your story is surely one of love and survival! You have surely matured into two strong young women! Judah is lucky to have two big sisters like you all! Hail to the “Boss”!!!!!
You Know, your story tells the love a father has for his family! Don't ever forget that, even when you get mad at him. Thanks for sharing. Happy Milling
Amen to this! This man is amazing!
Your Dad, "the boss", seems to be a man of few words but with a determination to protect his family by any means necessary.

Give God the praise for giving your dad the courage and determination to save his family.

Well stated! Incredible story. They are lucky to be alive. And so much stronger for it.
You’re dad is a remarkable man, without friends and family we have a difficult road
God is amazing! Your family continues to be blessed because of your faith!
WOW what a story, what a hero your dad is. Glad you made it.
Your Father is a great Man and Leader and all of You are Gifted for what You went thru. That was quite a story and would be a great movie. My heart goes out to all of You

This video is the reason I have so much respect for the Boss. What an incredible life story.
This was a video we missed. Praise The Lord that you all made it through! My wife Julie and I love watching your videos...we love to watch wholesome videos that feature family businesses and homestead operations. We love your work ethic and how the family works together. God Bless!
Emerald looks the same , but Jade looks so young in this video. I bet Dad was livid, his wife and kids in danger. You young ladies are full of surprises, I am so happy the family made it out together and safe.
A father love never stops,mother love is forever
Know and lived your story well. Live in Johnstown Pa. South west of you. Famous for three floods here that destroyed about everything. Your so right on how you never know unless you’ve been in it. And after the shock settles, the real work starts of cleaning and rebuilding. Had to chuckle about the smell of flood mud. Still get the shivers if I get a hint of it. So glad your all safe and strong. Bob in Johnstown
The bravery, fortitude & greatness of your family is admirable & impressive. Thank you for sharing this epic story of your very difficult experience that made you stronger & more determined to be very successful.
I'm in southern N.H,and witnessed a freak flood,20 miles from home,on way home from VT,a large group of us ended up trapped on a small piece of high ground, refrigerators and couches blasting over the main road,bulldozers trying to make dams,I was 16 then,so this story I very much understand,I'll say again,I'm blessed by the algorithm for finding your channel
That house was where I grew up we went through 1972 and 1975 and other floods but that one was the worst. The little town of Barbours has never been the same. The house had water in the basement before but never in the house itself. On another note I enjoy your videos because I grew up next to the sawmill that was next to your house. I worked on the mill in the woods and in the pallet mill so I can appreciate what you guys do. Keep up the good work.
Just came across your video. Can’t imagine what your family went through. I’ve subscribed. Now being 71 years old I took a nap soon after. I left You tube playing. I woke up to a beautiful piano playing. And looked at the screen to see who it was. There was a bible verse across the screen which accompanied the piano. It read “ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not over take you….. Isaiah 43 : 2. Now that was awesome . That verse stayed there for awhile as the piano continued. Had to share that with you.
Cool experience! You never know what you’ll get when you let TH-cam just play…
Seemingly, your father received sight, strength & stamina in the ominous darkness through Divine Intervention in order to guide all of ye to safety. The whole lot of ye had Angels over your shoulders protecting each one of you from peril. An outstanding story and quite the Gift.
I seen Irene pick up a house and send it down rt 30, cars and trucks float down the schoharie crick. Never thought I'd see anything like that
Our house was nearly flooded in the summer of '21. We had 6 inches of rain fall in about 4 hours. We were very glad when the water started to recede. We know that the folks an hour or two to the southeast of us in SE Kentucky had their flood this year '22. The power of the water is frightening. Our only damage was some washed-out ground in our garden, and it did some minor damage to our AC Heat pump. We thanked GOD that it was no worse than it was. A family from our church had 2' of water in their house last year. We know that stuff can be replaced, but people can't.
Thanks for sharing your stories. I was wondering about the rain there in "meet the team" video. Keep up the great work y'all. The first time I saw the phosphorous moss was in Tennessee it was in a thick, high canopy forest. It gets really dark even when it's not raining. If you fortunate on one of your vacations at the beach you can experience tiny phosphorous baby jelly fish, the size of peas. Swimming at night with those glowing jellies is like living out some fantastic story book. Thanks again for bringing sunshine. Cheers!
Your father is a heroic man. You young ladies are blessed to be his daughter's 💕👍
Thank God I wasn't the only one who saw glowing branches and mushroom at the time of my fiery trial more worst that death itself. It happened in the darkest moments of my life, and I saw those glowing branches and mushroom in pitch black darkness at four different mountains I climb alone out of my deep sorrow and despair. But I kept my faith in God. This is his way of giving us a little spark of hope, a hint of light that is within us(since we are also compared to plants by God) which will glow and make our spirits shine in the darkest of times that the Devil brings to our lives. Now is stil night for the Lord, the day only comes for when his son returns to uproot all evil in this world. Stay true and keep the faith in God, love lots. More blessings to come for your family. Keep safe guys I enjoyed watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Isaiah 60
King James Version (KJV)
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Psalm 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Isaiah 53
King James Version (KJV)
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Ezekiel 17
King James Version (KJV)
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
We had record flooding in Ferndale, Sumas and Everson WA this year. Thanks for your perspective on flooding and the dangers of not being prepared.
Nice job ladies nice job ladies. It’s always good to see contact from people who actually know what they are talking about. Keep up the good work.
Happy New Year!
It sounds like the boat was to small. Your dad is a smart man. Going a tough route to be safe isn't fun but it kept the family safe. Give him a few extra hugs. He earned them. May God continue to bless your family.

When you have challenges in your future lives remember that you both have your Mother's and Father's strength and judgement in you.
On July 31, 1987 I was 9 years old and the city of Edmonton experienced an F4 tornado. The day would be immortalized in Edmonton history as "Black Friday". The day started off exceptionally warm, but the storm clouds grew in the afternoon. The skies were ominous and dark. My dad sprung into action, and packed us into the car.....and we headed to the nearest liquor store. A truly heroic and selfless act. In all seriousness, we weren't in danger in our home, despite the massive softball sized hail pelting our neighbourhood. I'm lucky enough to have the most amazing wonderful and amazing father, who I try to be like in everything I do. I am so happy for families that have fathers that love and support their families. I count my blessings often, and I'm glad you do the same. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great story.Made me cry.Your mom and dad are the true hero,s.What a parent will go through for our children has no limits.It makes one appreciate them even more.
My gosh thanks for sharing your story. Your dad is an incredible man and so are you two and your mom. You made me very emotional
What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing!!
This is a wild story..thanks for sharing!..as a man you would not do what you know you can't do..props to your amazing father and family!!
Great story, sets the stage for what you have accomplished since and in the future. You should write it down with quotes from each of you for family history. Date it and let your grandchildren read it someday.
Im so glad you're all here and well today! I'm from middle NY but every year I go up to Sonestown PA for a bday trout fishing party for my buddy..and Ive seen the damage those floods can do..whole bridges and even homes washed away. You're dad is incredible, hope you guys sell firewood bundles! I would love to buy one for my buddies cabin
The negative comments on your videos really show what a sickness social media really is. Or maybe the mentally unwell just speak the loudest. Keep doing what you do, and know that the majority of people appreciate you sharing your stories.
May God bless you all the name of Jesus Christ Amen❤
You all need to write a book on this experience
God Bless you all,❤❤
WOW...just WOW....God is awesome, with the things he shows us throughout Life's journey, amazing. Things happen for a reason.... sometimes we don't understand it. It seems to have installed an appreciation in your hearts, never forget, learn and move on. You have a great family.
Wow ! God Blessed you through your Dad and Mom
That's was incredible, your dad, a dad and hero, you all are blessed.
Your telling of your story was so compelling it keep me on the edge of my seat. Thank you for giving us a look into your situation.
The Heavenly Father was with you all. God Bless you all.
Those glowing plants we have so many of that here in the PNW that when we clear tress from an area and disturb the ground during the day that night will be filled with glowing fungus which glows green to see a big area of cleared forest glowing like that is magical I used to gather it all up and put it in a mason jar and it created a mason jar light bulb that really lite up the cabin.
WOW, I can't imagine how terrifying that had to be. My area just had a 100 year flood on 8/17/21 in Haywood county nc. 100's of homes washed away. 6 lives lost. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing.
Grateful people are happy people, your dark experience has installed gratefulness in your souls. Stay grateful, u have each other.
The power of water is amazing. I lived near a creek for a while I learned quick to watch the weather constantly and if they called for heavy rain to watch the creek. I had 2 points I watched. Water reached the first point I started putting stuff in the house up high. It reached the 2nd point I took the family out. Got flooded 2 or 3 times. Said I would never live near a creek again so I bought property on a hill and moved. Can't imagine this from a kids prospective. Thanks for sharing your powerful story.
Wonderful story of your Dad’s courage and persistence for the love of his family. No wonder you all are so strong. Every child needs parents like this strong and loving Mom and Dad!
Lost my home here in WV in the 1985 flood of the Greenbrier River. . Built back 9’ in the air and the 1996 flood went right under me. We called it “Killing Waters!” Your story is surely one of love and survival! You have surely matured into two strong young women! Judah is lucky to have two big sisters like you all!
Hail to the “Boss”!!!!!
blessings and greetings from germany
Thanks for sharing this difficult but inspiring life event.
That sounds scary as hell. Water is pretty much an unstoppable force.
God Bless you. I'm so happy everyone's ok. It would make a great movie lol. You had me in tears.
This story was heart felt. It made me tear up a bit. Thank god you were saved. Thank you for sharing.
